question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate his Department has made of the average length of delay at the border to hauliers exporting to the EU under the terms of the new trade deal with the EU compared to customs union membership.

uin	132992
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2021 answer text <p>Now the that transition period has ended EU authorities require additional paperwork and checks when goods are moved from the UK to the EU. Border readiness checks are undertaken both in the EU and within the UK (to ensure that freight can enter the EU after it has left the UK). These additional checks take time and there will inevitably be a certain proportion that are not border ready (i.e. have the correct documentation), which may result in some disruption. DfT analysis has focused on a Reasonable Worst Case Scenario for planning purposes, which can be found <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/920675/RWCS_for_our_borders_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>. Note that this is not an estimate but a scenario used for contingency planning purposes. As yet it is too early to use observed data to provide an estimate, as freight volumes have been low, as they usually are in early January.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 12/01/2021 09:54:14 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean previous answer version 72675 answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
